00:00In other news, the expected effects of the Kiribbean storm are already being prepared in several places in Davao.
00:05Live from Davao Oriental, we have the first news from Jandi Esteban of GMA Regional TV.
00:11Jandi?
00:16Susan, at this time, we haven't experienced the rain and stormy weather here in Davao Oriental.
00:24But the authorities are still monitoring the weather.
00:31Rescue equipment, emergency response and communication devices of Davao Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office are already in place
00:41as a preparation for the Tropical Depression Kiribbean.
00:44They will continue their cooperation with all municipal and city disaster risk reduction and management offices.
00:51As an EOC in the province, we can provide equipment and also personnel
00:59to use those equipment if they can't use those equipment.
01:04Since 5 p.m. yesterday, the province was subjected to Tropical Wind Signal No. 1.
01:11Until now, there has been no rain or storm.
01:16According to the forecast, moderate to heavy rain is expected on this day, December 18.
01:21The province was subjected to Blue Alert status at 7 p.m.
01:26When we are under Blue Alert status,
01:29our response cluster agencies are forced to be on duty in our EOC for faster coordination.
01:42And if there is a need for deployment of resources within their agencies,
01:47our deployment will be faster.
01:51What they remember the most is flooding and landslides due to rain,
01:56especially in many barangays in the province, landslides and flood-prone areas.
02:00Remember, in January and February of this year, many were evacuated.
02:04And some were killed due to landslides due to long-term rains brought by shear line.
02:09We are looking at the most likely landslide-prone areas
02:15because our land might be saturated.
02:20And if kerobin is added with the combined effect of the shear line,
02:27it might trigger landslides.
02:30According to the forecast, kerobin is expected to weaken on this day
02:34and will be low pressure but will still pass through Mindanao.
02:39In the province of Davao de Oro,
02:41all classes were suspended in public and private schools
02:46in the towns of Moncayo, Maco, Nabunturan and Compostela.
02:51Classes were also suspended in Island Garden City of Zamal in Davao del Norte.
02:55Susan.
02:56Thank you very much, John D. Esteban of GMA Regional TV.
